The evening sun
Shone like honey in the cherry blossom tree,
Creating dancing light
Behind paper-thin pink petals.
Buds burst open
To drink in that spring treacle
And danced
On the edge of light.
Even this shot where I didn’t focus properly
Has a lovely abstract quality about it:
The essence of spring light.
(Photos straight out of the camera.)

I’ll take a gallon of your honey-like spring treacle to go; oh an one straw ( I don’t share ). No ice thank you, it reminds me of winter. Your colour just as delicious, no, probably more so. One thinks green is the colour of spring, but if one looks real close, it is the colour hues which come to life in the added humidity of springtime brought on by the most intense white burning Sun of the year.

Puste einfach weg die Sorgen,
bereit für ein unbeschwertes Morgen!
Danke den Freunden für das Lachen
gemeinsam essen, trinken – mitmachen!
Puste einfach weg die Mauer
gemeinsam stark gegen die Trauer.
Frohe Gedanken dann in die Luft gleiten,
um den Tag froh und heiter zu bereiten.
